We stayed here one night. It was very quiet and the sites were spacious and level. We would definitely stay here again. The host was very friendly and I booked on line and that experience was very easy.

Playground, basketball and pickleball courts, bike trail, walking trail, and disk golf something for all ages in our family group. Close to many restaurants and shopping centers/thrift stores to keep occupied if the weather doesn't corporate with outdoor activities. Safe, clean, quite park in a scenic location. Bardges moving through the lock at the dam is an great spectator event. Many, many bird species if you're into bird watching. Nice visitors center with a lot of area history. The park attendants are all super great people. Definitely one of our family favorites for camping.

We were disappointed due to the mosquitoes were horrible in the B- section along the woods you could not sit outside. Enjoy the weather in the evening or early morning. I’ve never seen it so bad so I wouldn’t camp in B section next to the woods
